Getting a job with an airline

Man:

Hello

Ellie:

Oh, hello. This is Ellie Fisher.

Ellie:

We were at school together.

Man:

Oh, hi Ellie.

Man:

How are you?

Man:

What are you doing these days?

Ellie:

Well, actually, I'm looking for a job and I was wondering about applying to an airline.

Ellie:

You know, looking after the passengers.

Ellie:

And I heard you're doing something like that.

Man:

Yeah, I'm working as a cabin crew attendant.

Ellie:

Right.

Ellie:

So, what does that involve?

Man:

Well, you might have to give them the initial safety demonstration before take-off, for example.

Man:

You've probably seen that when you've made a journey by air.

Ellie:

Actually, I've never flown, but I'd love to.

Ellie:

That's why I'd like a job with an airline.

Man:

Oh, right.

Man:

And during the flight, you'd also be going round to see if anyone wants to buy anything.

Ellie:

So, I'd be dealing with money.

Man:

That's right.

Man:

You'd be responsible for that.

Man:

And then, of course, you'd be serving meals and snacks and things.

Ellie:

Okay.

Ellie:

So, can anyone apply?

Man:

Well, there are certain requirements.

Man:

You must be at least 19 years old and there's also a minimum height, that's 168 centimetres.

Man:

That's to make sure you can reach the higher cupboards in the plane.

Ellie:

Right.

Ellie:

I'm 169 centimetres, I think.

Ellie:

What about qualifications?

Man:

You need to show that you have a good level of English, that's written and spoken, and also maths.

Ellie:

Okay.

Ellie:

Well, I passed my exams in both those subjects, fortunately.

Man:

And it's an advantage if you can speak another language, although for cabin crew it's not essential.

Ellie:

I can speak Spanish.

Ellie:

I did that at school until I was 16.

Man:

Excellent.

Man:

That'll be very useful.

Ellie:

And I'm pretty fit.

Ellie:

I don't have any medical problems.

Man:

Okay.

Man:

Oh, and can you swim?

Ellie:

Yes.

Man:

Good, because that's another requirement.

Man:

Now, if you're accepted, you'll get a six-week training course.

Ellie:

Right.

Man:

So that'll cover all aspects of the job, all the basic things you need to know, and then some special things, like what action to take if a passenger suddenly has some sort of illness while you're in the air, for example.

Ellie:

Right.

Ellie:

I suppose you can't always count on a doctor being on board.

Man:

No.

Man:

And then you'll have to do a lot of work during the training on becoming aware of the variety of cultures that your passengers may come from and the implications of that.

Man:

That's really interesting, actually.

Ellie:

Okay.

Ellie:

Well, I'd definitely like to apply.

Ellie:

Um, what airline do you actually work for?

Man:

It's a small airline called Eurontas.

Man:

That's E-U-R-O-N-T-A-S.

Ellie:

Is that N or M in the middle?

Man:

N for November.

Man:

They're good people to work for.

Man:

Have a look at their website.

Man:

You can download the application form from there.

Ellie:

Right.

Ellie:

I don't have much in the way of experience, though.

...:

Well, what have you done since leaving school?

Ellie:

I worked in a supermarket for a bit, on the information desk.

Ellie:

I was helping deal with queries from customers.

Man:

Okay.

Man:

Put that down.

Man:

That's one of the most important aspects of the job, in fact.

Ellie:

Oh, right.

Ellie:

And last year I also did some voluntary work as part of a team.

Ellie:

Should I put that down, too?

Man:

Of course.

Man:

That's something else they'll be looking for, being able to work with others.

Ellie:

Right.

Man:

And a lot of airlines expect you to pay for your own uniform.

Man:

But the good thing about this airline is that they provide it for you.

Ellie:

Great.

Ellie:

Well, thanks so much, Greg.

money

Giải thích chi tiết

❓ Câu hỏi: some responsibility for _____ from sales during the flight

🎯 Xác định loại từ cần điền:

Sau cụm responsibility for cần một danh từ/cụm danh từ.
Ngữ cảnh nói về công việc doanh số chuyến bay (sales during the flight) ⇒ thông tin cần điền liên quan đến thanh toán/tiền bạc.

✅ Đáp án đúng: money

▶️ Bắt đầu nghe ở: đoạn người đàn ông mô tả nhiệm vụ trong suốt chuyến bay, đặc biệt câu về việc hành khách mua đồ (buy anything): "And during the flight, you'd also ..."

☺️ Giải thích đáp án:

Đọc câu hỏi, xác định từ khóa là responsibility for (chịu trách nhiệm cho) và dự đoán sẽ là một thứ cụ thể.
Nghe thấy người đàn ông nói: đi quanh xem có ai muốn buy anything.
Khi có hoạt động mua trên máy bay thì cabin crew sẽ phải thu tiền/nhận thanh toán.
Ngay sau đó Ellie nói đúng ý: “So, I’d be dealing with money.” ⇒ điền money.

🧐 Lưu ý: ❌ maths / mathematics => cũng là “requirement” trong bài, nhưng thuộc phần trình độ cần có, không liên quan đến việc mua hàng trên chuyến bay.

❌ (safety demonstration / meals) => Đây là các nhiệm vụ khác (hướng dẫn an toàn, phục vụ suất ăn) chứ không liên quan đến việc bán hàng (sales).
